Hop BroAt PEPOWN in Chigasaki, 2nd Anniversary Week is kicking off. From April 8 to 19, friends are bringing food and drinks, and even BEER BINGO is in the mix, so it has a real festival feel.
MugiWhoa, there's BEER BINGO too!? Drinking, playing, and celebrating an anniversary sounds way too fun.
Hop BroExactly. And from 3:00 p.m. on Thursday, April 16, Koji Kawatani from Giraffe General Store in Aizuwakamatsu will visit. Just having Koji Kawatani visiting raises the energy of the event another notch.
MugiGiraffe General Store sounds interesting, and bringing in spirits? What does that even mean! Are they pairing beer and spirits?
Hop BroMore than mixing them, it's about layering aromas and flavors to enjoy together. The beer at PEPOWN and Kawatani's spirits will make for a drink that highlights the overlap of aromas.
MugiOhh! But the beer name in the article is a bit tricky. What's this Passific Brewing's Shato thing?
Hop BroThat's the interesting part: it's the aged version of Passific Brewing's grisette "Shato." The key point is that after about a year of aging, it gains depth while keeping its original light character.
MugiGrisette is another new one for me! It sounds classy, but what is a grisette, Hop?
Hop BroBroadly speaking, it's a French-style beer that's light and dry to drink. And because it uses a herbal base beer, the aromatic nuances come through beautifully.
MugiI see, so it's not just light, it has depth too. PEPOWN's Anniversary Week sounds packed with the joy of drinking, and now I'm hungry and in a great mood!
Hop BroRight? In Chigasaki, with people, food, and drinks all gathering together, and with both a pairing and an aged beer to go after on April 16, April 16 is definitely one to watch.
MugiIt's decided! I want to toast to Anniversary Week, and I'm curious about both the aged Shato and the drink with the spirits. Now I really want to go!

It is made by letting the herbal base beer rest for about a year after bottling, and is introduced as a drink that lets you enjoy the changes brought by aging. Not only its lightness, but also the depth that emerges over time is something worth paying attention to.
PEPOWN's anniversary week looks set to be an event where people gather at the Chigasaki brewery to enjoy the combination of people, food, and beer itself. In particular, April 16 is a date to keep in mind, since it offers both a spirits pairing and an aged beer in one go.
